Delegates from governments, parliaments, and social movements across the globe gathered in Bogotá, Colombia, on January 25 for the inaugural “Nuestra América” summit. Convened by the Progressive International at the San Carlos Palace, the emergency congress aimed to establish a unified strategy against what participants described as a “rapidly escalating assault” on Latin American sovereignty. The high-level meeting, featuring 90 people from more than 20 countries, took place against a backdrop of heightened regional tensions and the Trump administration’s express intent to impose its dictates in the Western hemisphere.

Inside Venezuela’s Response To Donald Trump’s Attack

January 4, 2026 Bhaskar Sunkara, Jacobin Magazine. , , , ,
Yesterday the United States carried out a direct military attack on Venezuela, abducting President Nicolás Maduro and conducting strikes around Caracas — a grave violation of international law that risks plunging the region into wider conflict. To understand how Venezuelan officials and supporters of the Bolivarian project are interpreting these events — and what they believe comes next — Jacobin founding editor Bhaskar Sunkara spoke last night with Carlos Ron, a former Venezuelan diplomat who served as one of the government’s principal interlocutors with the United States during years of sanctions and diplomatic confrontation.

Explosions were reported at key military bases, civilian areas, and other sites across the Venezuelan capital of Caracas and surrounding areas in the early hours of Saturday, January 3. The Venezuelan government said in an official statement that the attack was perpetrated by the United States and constitutes a “grave military aggression” against “Venezuelan territory and population”. In a post on his Truth Social platform after the attack, Trump said that the Venezuelan president had been removed from the country by the US, with more details to come in a press conference in Mar-a-Lago at 11 am.

December 9, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , ,
On Sunday, a broad alliance of Norwegian groups dedicated to peace and solidarity announced a demonstration planned for Tuesday, December 9, in condemnation of the Nobel Committee’s decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan far-right politician María Corina Machado. Machado has publicly called for a US military intervention against Venezuela, supports the over 1,000 unilateral coercive measures imposed on the country, has played a key role in orchestrating violent and destabilizing actions, and has links to criminal drug trafficking organizations.

‘Venezuela, The Threat Of A Good Example’

December 7, 2025 Cira Pascual Marquina, Venezuelanalysis. , , ,
As Washington intensifies its hybrid war against Venezuela—combining sanctions, lawfare, psychological operations, and military threats—the South American country once again finds itself in the headlines. To understand this moment, Cira Pascual Marquina spoke with Geraldina Colotti, an Italian journalist, revolutionary militant, and former political prisoner who has engaged with Venezuela for decades. Colotti argues that the current offensive against the Caribbean nation is part of a broader imperial strategy to reassert US hegemony amid a terminal crisis of global capitalism. Drawing parallels with Iraq, Libya, Palestine, and Vietnam, she explains how the Bolivarian Revolution represents the “threat of a good example” and why, despite suffocating sanctions and relentless destabilization, Venezuela continues to be a living paradigm of popular resistance.

Venezuela Under Siege: A Hundred Deaths At Sea; Hundreds Of Thousands By Sanctions

November 22, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Most of the world looks on in disbelief at the now-routine murders on the high seas off Venezuela’s coast – serial killings that the newly minted War Department calls Operation Southern Spear. On October 31, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk condemned the attacks, saying that the “mounting human costs are unacceptable.” The People’s Social Summit in Colombia (November 8-9) excoriated Washington. Four days later in Caracas, a meeting of jurists from 35 countries denounced the “homicidal rampage.” The Military Law Task Force of the National Lawyers Guild charged “egregious war crimes and violations of international human rights, maritime, and military law.”

US Announces Operation ‘Southern Spear’ To Destabilize Venezuela

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced on 14 November the launch of a US military operation in Latin America, claiming to target “narco-terrorists” as part of its broader campaign to destabilize Venezuela. “Today, I'm announcing Operation SOUTHERN SPEAR. Led by Joint Task Force Southern Spear and SOUTHCOM, this mission defends our Homeland, removes narco-terrorists from our Hemisphere, and secures our Homeland from the drugs that are killing our people,” Hegseth wrote in a post on X. “The Western Hemisphere is America's neighborhood – and we will protect it,” he claimed.

The US Continues Its Attempt To Overthrow The Bolivarian Revolution

November 7, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. , , , ,
Since early September, the United States has given every indication that it could be preparing for a military assault on Venezuela. Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research partnered with ALBA Movimientos, the International Peoples’ Assembly, No Cold War, and the Simón Bolívar Institute to produce red alert no. 20, ‘The Empire’s Dogs Are Barking at Venezuela’, on the potential scenarios and implications of US intervention. In February 2006, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez travelled to Havana to receive the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation’s José Martí Prize from Fidel Castro. In his speech, he likened Washington’s threats against Venezuela to dogs barking, saying, ‘Let the dogs bark, because it is a sign that we are on the move’.

November 6, 2025 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
At a press conference Tuesday, Sheinbaum dismissed reports of a proposed US military operation against drug trafficking on Mexican soil and asserted her government would not permit it under any circumstances. “That’s not going to happen. We have no reports that that’s going to happen, and we disagree with it, and we’ve made that clear to President Trump,” the head of state said in response to a report published the previous day by NBC News. Sheinbaum recalled that both countries signed a bilateral agreement Sept. 3 following a meeting at the National Palace with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. She emphasized the deal is based on non-negotiable principles.

US Deploys Aircraft Carrier And Threatens Invasion Of Venezuela

October 26, 2025 Devin B. Martinez, People's Dispatch. , , ,
As the US continues to escalate threats and military pressure against Venezuela and now Colombia as well. On Friday, October 24, “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth announced the deployment of aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), to the Caribbean. The most capable and lethal strike platform in the world adds to the already massive military buildup in the Caribbean of 10,000 US troops, at least eight war ships, P-8 surveillance planes, and F-35 jets deployed amid the Trump administration’s alleged counter-narcotics operations. US troops are also reportedly deploying to Trinidad and Tobago, mere miles from Venezuela, for five days of coordinated “military exercises”.

The Imperialist Offensive Is Nothing New For The Bolivarian Revolution

October 26, 2025 Cira Pasqual Marquina, Venezuelanaysis. , , , ,
In recent months, Washington has stepped up its military presence in the Caribbean, sending warships, aircraft, and even a nuclear submarine to waters near Venezuela amid extrajudicial attacks on fishing vessels. For many, this new phase of aggression is all too familiar — part of a decades-long campaign of hybrid warfare designed to undermine Venezuela’s sovereignty. In this context, Cira Pascual Marquina spoke with Ana Maldonado, a sociologist, international relations coordinator for the Francisco de Miranda Front—a national Chavista movement—and member of the Venezuelan chapter of ALBA Movements. In this interview, Maldonado offers her perspective on how Venezuelans are experiencing the latest imperialist escalation, reflects on the country’s long resistance to hybrid war.

The US Is Frighteningly Close To A Military Invasion Of Venezuela

October 14, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , ,
The Venezuelan government recently requested action by the United Nations because it has good reason to believe that an attack is imminent. To understand the current threats and how Venezuela is preparing to defend itself, Clearing the FOG speaks with Roger Harris, a co-founder of the Venezuela Solidarity Network and member of the board of the Task Force of the Americas, as well as other Latin American solidarity organizations. Harris explains how the US has been trying to overthrow the Venezuelan government for decades, why Venezuela is a target of Washington and what people can do to try to stop an invasion.

United States Out Of Venezuela And Iran!

October 13, 2025 US Peace Council. , , ,
The U.S. Peace Council condemns the U.S. government’s escalating wars abroad and its deepening war against working-class, Black, Brown, Indigenous, immigrant, and other oppressed and vulnerable communities here at home. The same imperialist system that wages aggression against Venezuela and Iran intensifies repression in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and communities across the United States. These are not separate wars — they are fronts of a global imperialist system in decline, struggling to maintain its exploitative, unilateral hegemony in the face of a rising multipolar world. In Our Americas and West Asia, the U.S. invokes “counterterrorism,” “anti-drug operations,” and “nuclear deterrence” to justify overt and covert forms of intervention, sanctions, and regime change.

Will The United States Attack Venezuela?

October 10, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Spoiler alert – it already has. This is not a glib answer but a comment on the nature of the conflict. The US mission to wrench Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution out from its roots has a quarter-century pedigree. Stick around to the end of the article for an assessment of the likelihood of an overt military attack inside Venezuela. But first a little historical context. In 2002, a US-backed military coup temporarily ousted Hugo Chávez. A mere 47 hours later, the people of Venezuela spontaneously arose and returned their rightfully elected president. Washington has persistently interfered in the internal affairs of Venezuela, pouring millions of dollars to rig elections. Yet, the perpetually divided and unpopular US-fostered opposition is more isolated and discredited than ever.
